This 720-page guide includes thousands of frequency, PL, unit ID and radio code updates.

While this book was published at the end of '03, what makes this book so special is the layout and the details. No other frequency guide or web site goes into anywhere near the level of comprehensive reporting found in this Scanner Master edition. While certainly some information is by now dated, the level of detail provides an incredible wealth of information that remains so valuable today and which can be found nowhere else, particularly for New York City. County sections generally begin with a discussion of the public safety operations within the county and then present all the frequencies with exact channelization (F-1, etc.) and channel usage. From County police to county fire networks, EOCs and more, with radio codes and myriad unit designator lists, these sections have it all. Following each county agency reports we cover each and every city, town, borough, and village and even list which agency provides police and fire protection for the smallest of communities. The state sections are equally as detailed with extremely comprehensive discussions of agency make-up and operations, not only for State Police, but also for state DOT, Parks, etc.

The New York City chapter is particularly in-depth. At over 100 pages there's nothing we missed. The section covers every agency in the city with a radio and includes the huge changes in FDNY, NYPD, Transit and Port Authority, and DOITTs conventional and trunked radio systems. Hospitals, colleges, schools, jails, transit and more. It's all there.
